Battle at Garmsir

The Guardian's Audrey Gillan has written a powerful, moving piece about an ambush by Taliban troops against a small patrol of British troops in Afghanistan last year that left possibly dozens of Taliban dead and two British fatalities. "I imagined the structure of the article like a film, starting with this big last supper they have before their tour ends" Gillan said.
